B3.041 Prework Intro to Lymphoid Neoplasms Flashcards
where can lymphoid neoplasms be derived from?
precursor cells (B or T ALL)
mature B cells
mature T/MK cells
where can lymphoid neoplasms present?
primarily bone marrow/blood
primarily in lymph nodes
primarily in extranodal tissues
how are lymphoid neoplasms classified
cell of origin
development stage of transformed cell (precursor or mature)
clinical, immunophenotypic, genetic, and molecular findings
DOES NOT distinguish primarily blood/BM (leukemia) from primarily lymph node/tissue presentation (lymphoma)
same as chronic lymphocytic leukemia
small lymphocytic lymphoma
same as acute lymphoblastic leukemia
lymphoblastic lymphoma
what % of all lymphoid neoplasms involve B cells
80%
what % of all lymphoid neoplasms involve T/NK cells
20%
what type of lymphoma is classified neither as T or B cell?
Hodgkin
what are the 5 most common non-Hodgkin lymphomas?
diffuse large B cell lymphoma follicular lymphoma MALT lymphoma mature T cell lymphomas CLL/SLL
which 3 mature B cell neoplasms occur in the BM/blood
CLL/SLL
hairy cell leukemia
Burkitt
which 5 mature B cell neoplasms occur in the lymph nodes
CLL/SLL follicular lymphoma diffuse large B cell lymphoma mantle cell lymphoma Burkitt
which 2 mature B cell neoplasms occur extranodally
diffuse large B cell lymphoma
marginal zone lymphoma
which 2 mature T cell neoplasms occur in the BM/blood
adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome
which 3 mature T cell neoplasms occur in the lymph nodes
peripheral T cell lymphoma, unspec
anaplastic large cell lymphoma
adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
which mature T cell neoplasm occurs extranodally
mycosis fungoides/ Sezary syndrome
what are some immunophenotypic markers of mature B neoplasms
CD19, CD20
monoclonal surface Ig (K or L restricted)
others disease based
what are some immunophenotypic markers of mature T neoplasms
CD2, CD3, CD5, CD7 (some may be absent)
CD4 and/or CD8 (variable, do NOT establish clonality)
others diseased based
genetic features of mature B neoplasms
monoclonal rearranged Ig genes
translocations involving chromosome 14 (IgH gene locus, constitutively expressed)
disease specific findings
genetic features of mature T neoplasms
monoclonal rearranged T-cell receptor genes (a/B or y/d)
disease specific findings
what are 2 different possible lymph node architectures of lymphoid neoplasms?
diffuse
nodular/follicular
distinguish between small and medium-large cell lymphoid neoplasms
small
-more indolent
-immunophenotype and genetics are critical for diagnosis and classification
medium-large
-tend to be more aggressive
-morphology supplemented by immunophenotype and genetics for diagnosis and classification
clinical features of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL)
older adults most common leukemia in the US variable anemia, thrombocytopenia lymphadenopathy immunologic abnormalities- autoimmune anemia or thrombocytopenia, monoclonal immunoglobulin (paraprotein)
morphology of CLL/SLL
CLL - small mature lymphocytes in blood, BM
SLL- diffuse infiltrates of small lymphocytes in lymph nodes
histologic features of CLL/SLL
smudge like cells w no cytoplasm
immunophenotype of CLL/SLL
CD19+
CD20+
CD5+
sIg+ (clonal)
genetics of unmutated CLL/SLL (U-CLL/SLL)
no somatic hypermutation in IgV
40-50% of cases
unfavorable
genetics of mutated CLL/SLL (M-CLL/SLL)
somatic hypermutation in IgV
50-60% of cases
favorable
course and prognosis of CLL/SLL
median survival 6 y -worse for U-CLL/SLL (3) than M-CLL/SLL (7) prolymphocytic transformation - 15-30% -mean survival <2 y Richter transformation - 5-10% -large cell lymphoma -increased lymphadenopathy -mean survival <1 y
clinical features of hairy cell leukemia
middle aged and older adults
rare
splenomegaly, hepatomegaly
pancytopenia, infections
morphology/histological features of hairy cell leukemia
villous projections
immunophenotype of hairy cell leukemia
CD19+ CD20+ sIg+ (clonal) CD11c+ CD25+ CD103+ ** annexin A1 ** **very specific
